SWANSEA manager Paul Clement is ready to hand Wilfried Bony the chance to boost his sides’ attack by giving him his first Premier League start since in more than 10 months.

Bony is back after a £12m move from Manchester City and ready to join young gun Tammy Abraham up front for a Swansea side that has managed only two goals, and seven shots on target, in five games.

Clement is happy with his defensive system, which frustrated Tottenham at Wembley last weekend in a 0-0 draw, but wants a greater return from his offence.

“We know we’ve got to improve on the attacking side of things, and we want it to come together as quickly as possible,” said Clement.

“But the good defending we have produced did not happen overnight, it was down to lots of work on the training ground. I am sure the offensive side will come once we have done the work and bedded down the principles.

“A lot of the way teams defend now is a form of zonal marking – man marking is from another era. We faced 12 corners at Tottenham and defended every situation, but no-one said it was down to great zonal defending.”
